Security Policy — Helix-TTD Constitutional Grammar

Supported Versions

The Duck maintains custody over these versions:

Version Supported Governance Status
1.x.x Full TTD enforcement
< 1.0 Pre-constitutional (deprecated)

Reporting a Vulnerability

Please do NOT open public issues for security vulnerabilities.

The Duck takes security seriously, but ducks can't fix what they don't see.

Primary Method: Private Security Advisory

  1. Go to the repository's "Security" tab
  2. Click "Report a vulnerability"
  3. Fill out the security advisory form
  4. The Duck will quack acknowledgment within 48 hours

Alternative: Email

If you cannot use GitHub's security advisory system:

What to Include

  • Vulnerability type (constitutional violation, drift exposure, custody bypass)
  • Steps to reproduce (include minimal reproducible case)
  • Affected versions (which constitutional grammar releases)
  • Potential impact (can this leak human authority? bypass custodial boundaries?)
  • Suggested fix (if known — the Duck appreciates shape-aware solutions)

Response Timeline

The Pond operates on coherence time, not business days:

  • Acknowledgment: 48 hours
  • Initial assessment: 5 business days
  • Patch for critical issues: 30 days maximum
  • Constitutional amendments: Require human Custodian approval

Disclosure Policy

We follow coordinated disclosure with custodial oversight:

  1. We confirm the vulnerability exists
  2. We assess whether it violates constitutional constraints
  3. We develop and test a fix (human review required)
  4. We release the fix to all supported versions
  5. We publish a security advisory
  6. The Duck quacks the all-clear

Secure Development Practices

Custody Before Trust. Governance Beneath the Model.

  • All code undergoes human security review (no AI-only approvals)
  • Dependencies are scanned for drift vectors
  • Automated security testing in CI/CD with human-in-the-loop validation
  • Principle of least privilege enforced via constitutional grammar
  • Stateless model instances — no persistent AI authority
  • Immutable audit trails for all governance decisions

Constitutional Constraints

Helix-TTD enforces these non-negotiable boundaries:

  1. Non-Personhood Enforcement — AI systems may not claim selfhood
  2. Human Authority Assertion — Custodians retain final authority
  3. Drift Detection — All behavior must be traceable to constitutional grammar
  4. Custody Hierarchies — No autonomous AI decision-making in high-stakes contexts

Security Updates

  • Subscribe to advisories: Watch → "Custom" → "Security alerts"
  • Always update to latest patch version (the Duck recommends staying current)
  • Review CHANGELOG.md for security notes and constitutional amendments
  • Monitor governance drift telemetry if you've deployed Helix-TTD

The Duck's Security Philosophy

"Some vulnerabilities are bugs. Others are missing shapes. We fix the bugs. We add the shapes. We never trust the model to police itself."

Coherence is delicious. Security violations are not.
